Dear wonton soup, I'm sorry for neglecting you. I got wrapped up in the slurp-iness of pho and the murky depths of ramen (your Asian-soup rivals, I know). But I came back to you the other day, with a simple takeout order from the ever-smiling folks at China Tokyo Express. Your supple dumplings, your savory broth, your smattering of scallions. You were my first Asian-soup love. And I will never neglect you again.
